With get_input_region existing, get_input_rect is a misnomer. Really,
it's about the geometry of the output surface, and it's only used that
way in the compositor code.
Way back when in GNOME 3.2, get_input_rect was added when we added
invisible borders. get_outer_rect was always synonymous with server-side
geometry of the toplevel. get_outer_rect was used for both user-side
policy (the "frame rect") and to get the geometry of the window.
Invisible borders were meant to extend the input region of the frame
window silently. Since most users of get_outer_rect cared about the
frame rect, we kept that the same and added a new method, get_input_rect
to get the full rect of the framed window with all invisible borders for
input kept on.
As time went on and CSD and Wayland became a reality, the relationship
between the server-side geometry and the "frame rect" became more
complicated, as can be evidenced by the recent commits. Since clients
don't tend to be framed anymore, they set their own input region.
get_buffer_rect is also sort of a poor name, since X11 doesn't really
have buffers, but we don't really have many other alternatives.
This doesn't change any of the code, nor the meaning. It will always
refer to the rectangle where the toplevel should be placed.
Scale surfaces based on output scale and the buffer scale set by them.
We pick the scale factor of the monitor there are mostly on.
We only handle native i.e non xwayland / legacy clients yet.

The code here before was completely wrong. Not only did it mix up
coordinate spaces of "client rect" vs. "frame rect", but it used
meta_frame_get_frame_bounds, which is specifically for the *visible*
bounds of a window!
In the case that we don't have a bounding or input shape region at
all on the client window, the input shape that we should apply is
the surface's natural shape. So, set the region to NULL to get the
natural rect picking semantics.
Compositors haven't been able to manage more than one screen for
quite a while. Merge MetaCompScreen into MetaCompositor, and update
the API to match.
We still keep MetaScreen in the public compositor API for compatibility
purposes.
Creating a new cogl texture may fail, in which case the intent to
free it will crash. While something is clearly wrong (insanely
large window, oom, ...), crashing the WM is harsh and we should
try to avoid it if at all possible, so carry on.

... and individually. It turns out that updating the opaque region
was causing the shape region to be updated, which was causing a new
shape mask to be generated and uploaded to the GPU. Considering
GTK+ regenerates the opaque region on pretty much any focus change,
this is not good.
At some point meta_window_actor_cull_out stopped calling
meta_cullable_cull_out_children which caused the unobscured region
to never be set for the stex.

For decorated windows, we don't want to apply any input
shape, because the frame is always rectangular and eats
all the input.
The real check is in meta-window-actor, where we consider
if we need to apply the bounding shape and the input shape
(or the intersection of the two) to the surface-actor,
but as an optimization we avoid querying the server in
meta-window.
Additionally, for undecorated windows, the "has input shape"
check is wrong if the window has a bounding shape but not an
input shape.
We need a MetaWaylandSurface to build a MetaSurfaceActor, but
we don't have one until we get the set_window_xid() call from
XWayland. On the other hand, plugins expect to see the window
actor right from when the window is created, so we need this
empty state.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
Turns out we only ever need to freeze/thaw whole windows, not
surfaces or subsurfaces.
This will allow removing the surface actor without losing
the count.
This time, to make way for MetaSurfaceActorEmpty. This also fixes
destroy effects as a side effect. It still has issues if we try
to re-assign an actor that's already toplevel (e.g. somebody
re-popping up a menu that's already being destroyed), but this
will be fixed soon.
The idea here is that MetaWindowActor will do the unparenting of
the surface actor when it itself is destroyed. To prevent bad issues
with picking, we only make the surface actor reactive when it's
toplevel.
We cannot intersect the the complete volume with the unobscured bounds
because it does not include the shadows. So just intersect it with the
windows's shape bounds and union it with the shadow bounds.
This also matches what the comment in the code says:
"We could compute an full clip region as we do for the window texture,
but the shadow is relatively cheap to draw, and a little more complex to clip,
so we just catch the case where the shadow is completely obscured
and doesn't need to be drawn at all."
The rendering logic before was somewhat complex. We had three independent
cases to take into account when doing rendering:
* X11 compositor. In this case, we're a traditional X11 compositor,
not a Wayland compositor. We use XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get
the backing pixmap for the window, and deal with the COMPOSITE
extension messiness.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is FALSE.
* Wayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor managing
Wayland surfaces. The rendering for this is fairly straightforward,
as Cogl handles most of the complexity with EGL and SHM buffers...
Wayland clients give us the input and opaque regions through
wl_surface.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_WAYLAND.
* XWayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor, like
above, and XWayland hands us Wayland surfaces. XWayland handles
the COMPOSITE extension messiness for us, and hands us a buffer
like any other Wayland client. We have to fetch the input and
opaque regions from the X11 window ourselves.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11.
We now split the rendering logic into two subclasses, which are:
* MetaSurfaceActorX11, which handles the X11 compositor case, in that
it uses XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get the backing pixmap, and
deal with all the COMPOSITE extension messiness.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland, which handles the Wayland compositor case
for both native Wayland clients and XWayland clients. XWayland handles
COMPOSITE for us, and handles pushing a surface over through the
xf86-video-wayland DDX.
Frame sync is still in MetaWindowActor, as it needs to work for both the
X11 compositor and XWayland client cases. When Wayland's video display
protocol lands, this will need to be significantly overhauled, as it would
have to work for any wl_surface, including subsurfaces, so we would need
surface-level discretion.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
It's mostly equivalent to the case where we've already detached
the pixmap, *except* for the x11_size_changed case. We can simply
detach the pixmap at the time the window changes size, though.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
We guarantee ourselves that a valid pixmap will appear any time
that the window is painted. The window actor will be scheduled
for a repaint if it's added / removed from the scene graph, like
during construction, if the size changes, or if we receive damage,
which are the existing use cases where this function is called.
So, I can't see any reason that we queue a redraw in here.
With the split into surface actors, we don't have an easy place
we can use to queue a redraw, and since it's unnecessary, we can
just drop it on the floor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
We can never have a window actor that represents either the X root
window or the stage window, so it doesn't make sense to bail out
early in case we do.
I'd imagine that this came from a much earlier version of the code
where the compositor was much separate and had its own MapNotify
handling.
Since the unredirected window MetaWindowActor is stacked on top, it
will naturally get culled out of the process, so we can remove the
special casing here. Unfortunately, with the way that the code is
currently structured, it's too difficult to actually prevent setting
the clip / visible regions if the window is redirected, so just let
those be set for unredirected windows for now.
The input region was set on the shaped texture, but the shaped texture
was never picked properly, as it was never set to be reactive. Move the
pick implementation and reactivity to the MetaSurfaceActor, and update
the code everywhere else to expect a MetaSurfaceActor.
Traditionally, WMs unmap windows when minimizing them, and map them
when restoring them or wanting to show them for other reasons, like
upon creation.
However, as metacity morphed into mutter, we optionally chose to keep
windows mapped for the lifetime of the window under the user option
"live-window-previews", which makes the code keep windows mapped so it
can show window preview for minimized windows in other places, like
Alt-Tab and Expose.
I removed this preference two years ago mechanically, by removing all
the if statements, but never went through and cleaned up the code so
that windows are simply mapped for the lifetime of the window -- the
"architecture" of the old code that maps and unmaps on show/hide was
still there.
Remove this now.
The one case we still need to be careful of is shaded windows, in which
we do still unmap the client window. In the future, we might want to
show previews of shaded windows in the overview and Alt-Tab. In that
we'd also keep shaded windows mapped, and could remove all unmap logic,
but we'd need a more complex method of showing the shaded titlebar, such
as using a different actor.
At the same time, simplify the compositor interface by removing
meta_compositor_window_[un]mapped API, and instead adding/removing the
window on-demand.

We want to remove a bunch of auxilliary duties from the MetaWindowActor
and MetaSurfaceActor, including some details of how culling is done.
Move the unobscured region culling code to the MetaShapedTexture, which
helps the actor become "more independent".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
When we traversed down to reset the culling state, previously we
would just skip any actors that wanted culling. In order to properly
reset the unobscured_region before painting, we need to traverse down
to these places as well. Do this by calling cull_out with NULL regions
for both arguments, and adapt existing cull_out implementations to
match.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
I know it's confusing with the triple negative, but unredirected is how
we track it elsewhere: we have an 'unredirected' flag, and 'should_unredirect'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720631
We currently ignore the unobscured region when we have mapped clones in
meta_window_actor_process_damage and meta_window_actor_damage_all but
use it unconditionally when computing the paint volume.
This is wrong. We should ignore it there as well or we will end up with
empty clones if the cloned window is completly obscured
(like the tray icons in gnome-shell).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721596
We need to do this for XWayland windows, since we only get the event
telling us they're an XWayland window after the compositor knows about
the window.
